McCabe instructed his team to steal signed petitions from the petitioning room.
He held them in an attempt to extort control of several county committee
positions in the upcoming reorg. Those present were stunned by this outrageous
stunt.

This is Chairman Ghorra's first reorg since officially becoming chair in Nov
2016.

Unnamed sources who were present are willing to speak to you.

McCabe is CEO of political consulting firm, Steeplechase
Strategies.
Many have said McCabe is not ready to run. He is referred to as unstable
and undependable.

On July 12th he instructed his Steeplechase associates to steal signed
petitions from the Bklyn Gop processing room. Christine Sisto, President
of the Brooklyn South Conservative Club and McCabe's girlfriend and Alexandra
Sherer, a Manhattan GOP Leader ran like bats out of hell from the Bay Ridge
Manor and into a car that sped away. These petitions were signed by
hundreds of voters and were for several candidates in addition to McCabe.
Once these petitions were signed they became a legal document. It was a
crime to remove them and hold them to extort control over several County
Committee seats during the Brooklyn Reorg.

When McCabe returned to the Manor with the petitions he entered and stood in a
menacing and threatening way. He insisted he was justified in stealing
the petitions. Such childish behavior can not be tolerated.

McCabe in a fit of rage, threw a temper tantrum, screaming and yelling
for several minutes. His team, including Manhattan Political Director and
Steeplechase business partne, Robert Morgan, just watched as their
candidate had a melt down. No one attempted to get him under
control.

Chairman
Ghorra was present for this tantrum.

A woman stepped in front of McCabe when he stepped towards a young male
operative. She stopped him from hitting the younger man.

With his history of arrest and reckless use of social media. Those
present believe this is news worthy.

If you are interested in speaking
with those in attendance, please give me a phone number to call."

I think that the source of this E-mail is a bigger story than its contents. Please, let's unravel this together.

This is true, I was there and we are willing to speak to the press. This can end Liams campaign. It will not be the first time Liam/Will McCabe committed a crime, and this is a clear pattern..bye bye Liam time for the adult to take over the race

MC CABE SPOKESPERSON AND THEN THE CANDIDATE HIMSELF CALLED ME TO DENY THE WARP AND WOOF OF THE E-MAIL PUBLISHED ABOVE

"Nothing resembling what appeared in the E-mail published on your blog happened at any meeting attended by Liam or his representatives...." said a senior member of the McCabe Campaign.

".... First, you need some background. There was a joint meeting involving the petitions of two competing candidates that was set up by County Chairman Ted Ghorra so that everybody's petitions might be bound in a proper and transparent manner...." The McCabe Campaign spokesperson then praised the Kings County Republican Chairman's efforts as masterful in both keeping the peace at the meeting and accomplishing the purpose of the gathering.

However, what was also described was a meeting that was about as contentious as anybody might expect where the inner circles of two different campaigns might be gathered for any common pursuit.

A short while later, Liam spoke to me and said that none of the petitions handled by his folks could be "stolen," even if they might have been gathered together at one point, because they were petitions naming him, gathered by his volunteers, and assembled for binding by his campaign coordinators. As for County Committee slots, his petitions contained many, many hundreds of qualifying signatures for County Committee candidates that were proposed by the current District Leaders. As far as he could tell, the real dissatisfaction was over the fact that the Quaglione team overwhelmingly submitted "bullet petitions" naming only John Quaglione and containing no other names, such as for County Committee.

Liam also said that Ted Ghorra would certainly confirm his version of the evening.

Of course liams camp is sucking up to ghorra with their statement above, if he publicly tells the truth liam is certainly done..unfortunately for liam and his camp there are at least 3 people who were there who will confirm the contents of the email as opposed to Liams story. .

Gale, Q's campaign is flailing. They are desperately trying to find a narrative that distracts from the sorry petition situation for Q that you reported on earlier this week. Word on the street is that Lucretia has Q on the ropes in her specs.

Dont be surprised if you see a press conference next week with Q and Marty calling on McCabe to withdraw over this issue. The Republican party in brooklyn needs adults. McCabe has shown over and over again through black eyes, arrests, social media tantrums, and now this that he has a temperament issue. As much as he thought changing his name from Will to Liam would cause people to forget his past, this is a stark reminder that you cant change so quickly!

Quaglione and his best friends were bragging that they were going throw Lucretia "off the ballot". Suddenly, the tables have turned. I heard that Q boy made a deal with Lucretia so HE could stay on the ballot.

525 what are u talking about q has raised double, almost triple of mccabe and capano..that is why i ssw McCabe needs to beware when W exposes him big time to voters. .mccabe has no money to do any thing but sit with his dog at his office that noone is at

Heya 7:55 PM, funny you should mention seeing Liam at the 3rd Avenue Walk Last night because I too ran into Liam near Giacomo's and thought he looked like he was wearing make-up! Maybe Liam was shooting a television campaign commercial?

The Republican pro family Republicans will have a clear choice with a family man Republican with a wife and children who owns a home (as opposed to shacking up with his girlfriend and mom). A man who pays property taxes, has no arrests, or questionable past habits and behavior. .a clear choice.

I think that all the vile garbage being posted against John and Liam is from Democrats who realize that no matter who wins their primary they are going to be fielding the weakest candidate in 40 years with de Blasio at the top of the ticket. Any one of the Republican candidates not named Lucretia will be the favorite to win the seat.

QUAGLIONE IS THE FIRST GOP CANDIDATE FOR THE COUNCIL TO BE MARGINALIZED IN THE 2017 CYCLE

This is coming from the Quaglione team: "...Quaglione and Golden are going to make McCabe an offer he CAN NOT refuse to withdraw from race on Tuesday..." --- "...The [NY] Post article on Liam regarding [some] headline will be out Tuesday..." --- "... Q only father in race..." --- "...Quaglione is the only rep candidate who owns a home, has a wife, and children..."

Boy, does anybody think that all that kind of stuff will get GOP voters to the polls for John Q. Republican in a September Primary ???

Maybe, but only in about the same percentages as those that signed his petition in June and July. And what was that ??? It looks to me like about ten (10) or ten and a half (10 1/2) percent.....

Guess what ??? Ten to ten and a half percent ( 10-10 1/2 %) in a four way primary loses very badly.....

anybody see the "press release" that Liam's consultant's sent out about his wacky "marriage proposal" at the Staten Island Yankee game yesterday? This begs the question, has Liam ever done anything that isn't some sort of stunt? This also begs the question, are Capano and Quaglione the _only_ adults in this room? Does Lady Lucretia pull votes from Liam or Capano?

Are you suggesting that Quags is sessile?That is a very serious charge.It is an even more serious charge when you say it about somebody like John Quaglione, who has tried to make political activism and some versions of 'public service' a main part of his resume - along with having a wife, some kids and a house.On the other hand, the fact that any sessile creature has accomplished all that JQ has accomplished is a biological, physiological, psychological, and sociological miracle.

It's terrible tot honk that Liam's going to get away with cheating his way out of stealing petitions and now, get away with marrying a decent girl, after cheating on her several times also. This is not an honest man. Unfortunately, it seems most politicians aren't great people.

First, let me state that I am a Liam McCabe observer, and I am not a Liam McCabe supporter nor am I a Liam McCabe opponent [However, I will now disclose that Mr. McCabe recently received a special consideration from me in my "compassionate moderation"involving a featured item that might have become the basis of a major post on this blog >>> concerning Mr. McCabe and/or his campaign and/or at least a couple of his close associates];

Second, it is clear from then tenor of the presentation of certain matters in the comment above, that it was submitted by someone completely opposed to the candidacy of Liam McCabe to be the GOP nominee for the City Council in the 43rd Council District;

Third, like many "politicians" Liam McCabe, is a mixed bag; and

Fourth, nobody has provided any of the factual detail necessary to conclude that either Liam McCabe or anybody acting his behalf was engaged in or attempting to anything that resembles (d) "stealing petitions."

BTW, TUESDAY PASSED AND THE ROOF DID NOT FALL IN ON LIAM MC CABE OR HIS CAMPAIGN OVER WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED AT ANY MEETING INVOLVING THE JOINT BINDING OF CERTAIN REPUBLICAN PETITIONS --- ALSO, THERE WAS A T LEAST ONE OR TWO BOB CAPANO SUPPORTERS AND/OR REPRESENTATIVES THAT WERE PRESENT AT THE SO-CALLED JOINT PETITIONING MEETING WHERE ALL OF THAT STUFF WENT DOWN.

Capano was not part of any "petition togther" agreement with County GOP so no Capano represnetatives at the petition gathering on June 12th at the Manor.As McCabe readily admitted in his op-ed in Kings Councty Politics this was agreed to by McCabe and Quaglione (Capano was not invited to participate in this by Ghorra).As McCabe also rightly wrote- Quaglione went back on his word on collecting for all

You are very deceptive in your attempt to use your "straw man" arguments to bootstrap your final pitch.

I never reported that Capano was part of any "... 'petition together' agreement...", however your conclusiory "... so no Capano representatives at the petition gathering" might be technically correct, there were certainly a couple of Capano supporters in the house.....

If you don't think so, then you don't know who the various GOP district leaders are really supporting. --- A fair share are with Capano.

11:20 needs to learn something about politics. Why would Liam want El yateem to take WFP from Justin? When Justin loses the democratic primary he'll get enough votes on WFP in November to put Liam over the top.

4:36 PM, you'll just have to wait and see because the truth will come out soon. Liam conspired with Alyateem to hijack the Working Families Line. A little birdie at the Board of Elections told me. Robert Morgan, Sisto, the girl with the eyebrows from Manhattan.... they're all involved. Whole big scheme they cooked up and it will backfire because I don't see how Liam wins his Primary once the Republicans find out that apparently he also wants to run on the Working families Progressive line

YOUR OVERWHELMING RAT-A-TAT-TAT BACK AND FORTH ON THIS COMMENTS THREAD IS A TESTAMENT TO YOUR ..... [THIS, THAT OR THE OTHER]; AS A RESULT, I MIGHT NOT EVER WRITE ANOTHER POST FEATURE IF THIS KEEPS UP --- [DON'T WORRY, SPORTS FANS, I'M CERTAINLY KIDDING ! ! ! OR AM I ? ? ?]

This particular thread has turned into a real Rorschach Test for a variety of "anonymous" comment makers --- and even the "fake news," misinformation and disinformation contained therein makes for a treasure trove of insights into the various campaigns on this last weekend in July 2017.

The reason I say "anonymous" is that I do know immediately who some of you folks are. The others take a few key strokes, or more often one phone call, to cull the unnamed steer or wild bull out of the rest of the herd (btw, there have been plenty of steers and darn few "wild bulls").

Thanks to all the gods of the blogosphere, for allowing me another Saturday night without having to come up with anything fresh and/or interesting; since, quite honestly, I'm suffering from a bad biorhythm or something, and I'm not up to it.....
